As the internet of things technology marches forward, college students who participate in this year’s RJI Student Competition will be challenged to develop products to help improve lives in smart homes through news delivery.

Update: Recordly can now be downloaded from the Apple App Store. Transcription can cause headaches and drain time for professionals in the media industry, with short snippets of audio often leading to long sessions spent transcribing.

The 2017-2018 RJI Student Competition will differ in two ways from past competitions: Students from outside the University of Missouri are eligible to participate and teams may address any issue facing the news industry.

The sky’s the limit for participants in the 2017–2018 RJI Student Competition, sponsored by the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute at the Missouri School of Journalism. This year students may address any issue facing the news media.

The Missouri Innovation Center has announced the first four startups, which includes a transcription app, that will receive investment through its $2.1 million Mid-MO Tech Accelerator fund, and more deals could be on the way soon.

Students taking part in the 2016-2017 RJI Student Competition at RJI are harnessing artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to develop mobile apps for journalists and citizens who engage with journalism.

The 2016 RJI Student Competition winners who created a recording and transcribing app for journalists are one step closer to launch with the help of a 16-week incubator program for female entrepreneurs.
